2 by 2 in 2nd grade: npm 2018 #1

It's National Poetry Month, Diamond Miners!  People all over the United States are celebrating poetry, poems and poets in April--and as you know, your teacher is a huge poetry fan!

I thought we could do something special this month as a class, so I invented a little project.  We're going to write a poem together this month, 2 words by 2 words.  

Each day one of us will get a turn to add two words, and we'll go around the class twice so that our poem will have (2 words x 15 people) x 2 turns =  _____ words in all.  Can you solve that?

I took the first turn on Sunday, April 1st, so we have some catching up to do...I hope you're ready!

love, Ms. Mordhorst

  1. 2-by-2 sounds like a great plan. I think you're right about connecting words and 30 lines. Looking forward to following y'all's poem as it grows!

  7. Oops! We got engrossed in reading and voting on the Top Two in the March Madness Poetry Tournament and I forgot to get words from a student. We'll catch up tomorrow. : )
